Pyramids and the weather gods By Konstantin Borisov, Ph.D. December 5 nd , 2018 After about 150 years of Egyptology as an academic field, there still appears to be no agreement between scholars on the function of the Egyptian pyramids. The traditional Egyptology insists that pyramids were used as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens. Though, not all accept it and thus other competing hypothesis were proposed drawing to spiritual, mathematical, or astronomical role among a few others. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the main focus of the alternative hypotheses. Interestingly, all other 130 pyramids still standing in Egypt are seldom considered. Should any alternative hypothesis fit all pyramids, not just one particular, regardless how great it is? Also, mythology of the ancient Egypt is often neglected. This however may contain clues to how ancient Egyptians interpreted the world, and possibly shed some light on history gaps, further supporting or opposing the proposed hypothesis. Khafre’s pyramid is one of the largest and is still standing at Giza. The pyramid is made of limestone blocks quarried locally, weighting each around two tons, has two passages, two portcullises, and a large coffer in the main chamber, made of granite. The inner limestone blocks of the pyramids were covered by a layer of Tura limestone quarried across the Nile. The pyramid had the pyramidion at the peak, missing these days. Many other pyramids which Egyptian civilization built over their long ancient history have very similar profile. Figure 1. Khafre’s pyramid. I will explain below how but at this point let’s assume the pyramid produces electric charge in the main chamber. As the Tura limestone has good isolation properties and creates essentially a shell around the pyramid inner body, no charge would escape through the pyramid sides but move through the inner moist limestone core toward the pyramidion at the peak. As the charge density increase at the peak, the air
